[HTCondor-users] time of day policy

["Beyer, Christoph" <christoph.beyer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a question :) 

I am looking for a smart solution to not only not start jobs in a certain time span on a host but also I do not want to start jobs earlier that come with a runtime intruding in the idle period of the machine. 

I have a suspicion that the clockmin/clockday policy would be a good way to implement it but not sure. For now I inherited the example from the manual: 

WorkHours = ( (ClockMin >= 480 && ClockMin < 1020) && (ClockDay > 0 && ClockDay < 6) )
AfterHours = ( (ClockMin < 480 || ClockMin >= 1020) || (ClockDay == 0 || ClockDay == 6) )
START = $(START) && $(AfterHours)
MachineBusy = $(WorkHours)

Does that automatically respect the request_runtime of the jobs because it may tinker with the uptime value of the host ? 

Best
christoph
